All the Presidents' Children


This is the first volume in Doug Wead's massive, seventeen year, ongoing trilogy on America's first families.  It was an instant New York Times bestseller and reached number one on Amazon.com.

A second volume, The Raising of a President, will cover the lives of the presidents parents.  A planned third volume would cover the lives of the presidents' siblings.

 

The Raising of a President  


This is the long awaited sequel to Doug Wead's instant New York Times bestseller, All the Presidents' Children.  It is an accurate, historical perspective on Presidential Parents.

What are the family circumstances that have created our presidents? How did their upbringing shape their future and ours? Our greatest presidents have entered the Oval Office armed with overwelming ambition, intellect and political savvy. But were these characteristics evident in childhood?
 

 

 

"Oh the romantic entanglements of those White House ladies.  Letty Tyler sees a flirtatious twenty-four year old rival steal her place as White House hostess, steal the affection of her presidential father and become the first lady.  Years later, when her father is long dead in the grave, she sees that same rival steal the affection of her own husband!  Sometimes these pages sizzle.

 

This this is an especially intriguing book for parents…. for the same mistakes that the presidents make with their kids, we all make.  And still some of these kids overcome all of this trauma and stress to triumph!

 

This book finally gets the dates and places right, a persistent irritant for those of us who have  researched the subject, only to find Pulitzer prize-wining authors giving out the wrong info and even misspelling the names of the children.  This book will clearly have a long shelf life and be a favorite of libraries, if only because of that fact alone.  So here it is finally.  And it was worth the wait!  A fascinating glimpse of the children of presidents and what happens to them after they have left the national stage."

First Family Historian, writing about All the Presidents' Children.
